QT white flash

[Simoncina]

Hi everybody; does anybody have an idea of how to skip the white flash that
occurs when you start playing a Qt movie in a projector (DTS, and so on)?
I've read the related TechNote which suggests to put the Qt sprite off the
stage and move it later into position, but it doesn't seem to work...
thanks a lot, bye

Well you need to just span the movie to 2 fames. The firs frame is off screen and the second is on screen.

This should work :)

Mmmmh... I'm afraid it doesn't! ;-)
That's what I've done, following the TechNote suggestion to put the locH of
the Qt sprite offstage in the first frame, and then, in the second frame, to
set the locH in the right position; this should avoid the problem... but it
doesn't!
Unless you mean to physically move the qt through the stage, not using
Lingo... I could try, but the Qt is quite big, and I'm afraid this would
produce a kind of monster! ;-)

The QT needs to be off stage and stopped. Issue the play command
(movierate=1) and then channge the locH...like this
on moveQT
sprite(qtSprite).movieRate = 1
sprite(qtSprite).locH = 320
end moveQT

Well, I'll try!
What I did is quite similar, as I put a frame script saying
on exitFrame me
sprite(1).movieRate=1
sprite(1).locH=sprite(1)-1000
end

assuming that the qt sprite was +1000 offstage in the first frame.
I'll try your suggestion, hope it works 'cause I'm getting quite vexed by
that! ;-)
tnx
Simo
